Navigating the Madness

“MAD” Events in the Telecommunications Industry


AQUABLUE’s fourth Leaders Roundtable took place on November 16, 2021. Deb Boehling and Laura F. H. McDonald, Partners at Levine, Blaszak, Block and Boothby, LLP, shared how there has been a tremendous amount of reshuffling in the telecommunications industry recently, and how the last few years have been full of mergers, acquisitions/investments, and divestitures (“MAD” events)—plus bankruptcies and restructuring among telecom vendors and companies.

Some of the topics discussed included:

  • How MAD events may impact your company.
  • The major MAD events worth reviewing.
  • The short- and long-term impact on the market, and on enterprises’ current and future fixed networks and procurements.
  • How the ongoing implementation of prior MAD events may impact enterprise planning and contracting.
  • How to prepare for change (reviewing contracts, data gathering, and more).

Stay ahead of the curve so you can make adjustments if necessary. Learn about the impact of MAD events on enterprise customers, and why these events matter.
